THE IRISH CHURCH. It is confidently stated that the valuable See of Cloyne be given to 'Dr. Jebb, Bishop of Lime rick, a divine much distinguished by his publica tion, entitled " Sacred Literature," in some new principles of sacred criticism are elaborately'de veloped ;—as also ,by a volume of Sermons. The mention of these particulars naturally leads us, especially at the present juncture, to make a few cur sory remarks on the general question respecting the Protestant Church Establishment in Ireland. What can be more monstrously unjust, exclaims the disciple oi utility, than that a Country, the great majority of whose inhabitants are Papists, should be taxed to an over whelming amount to support an hierarchy of Protes tant Clergy, who evidently cannot, if they were dis posed to do so, give them any services in return ? To this question, formidable as it may appear to those who do not look very far into the matter, we have little he sitation in believing that we can supply a satisfactory answer. In the first place then let it be recollected that of the whole endowments of the Irish church, we are speak ing certainly not under the mark, if we say that one half does not consist in anything in the shape of tax or payment from the people of any kind ; but simply in landed estates :- --of these presently. The other half, (to take that proportion) arises f rom tythe. The labouring poor, who constitute the majority of Papists, have no tythe to pay.' Of the farmers, a considerable proportion, especially of the larger and richer, are Pro testants, in whose case no injustice is pretended, even if the tythe be regarded in the light off remuneration for services. The Irish Deaneries it is well known are of an entirely different nature from the English, they are simply rectories—paid by tythes, and having rectorial duties annexed. The Episcopal estates to which we before alluded, must, we ap prehend, be held by somebody ; and it is of little consequence to any one whether they are held by a man in lawn sleeves, or one in top boots and leather breeches. There is, however, one point which, notwithstanding all that has of late been said upon it, strikes us as still generally admitted by the public— this is, that it is desirable that estates in Ireland should be held by resident proprietors. WC ourselves, indeed, some months since, inserted in our columns a notice of a very ingenious piece of reasoning from the ,Edinburgh Review, the object of which was to prove absenteeism no evil. We, howeVer, did not pledge ourselves in support of it, and we have all along been disposed to view it rather as a curious exemplification of the extent to which over refinement in argument, can prevail against the impressions of common sense ; than as at all proving the point, however specious the argument. It is not, however, our intention at present to enter upon this subject ; we shall take for granted what is certainly the generally received opinion - among all plain and sensible people, viz. that absenteeism is an evil of no ordinary magnitude ; and that those Irish landholders . who do reside, even a part of the year on their estates, are the truest friends to the po pulation of that unhappy country. Now, we contend, that the Irish Episcopal landholders (to view them in no other light) do reside more than any. other class. of landholders, and that the country is in consequence benefitted proportionally, Just in the same way and same degree as it would be by the residence of a country gentleman or nobleman; but besides these be nefits,. we are much mistaken if many others clo not arise, (and we confine ourselves to benefits of a tem poral nature) from the peculiar adjunct of the clerical to the civil character of the landholder. The resi dence of, a scholar as well as a gentleman, is a point not to be overlooked, in reference to the powerful though often unperceived influence of the diffusion of intelligence. If the education of the lower classes be one of die rand organs of civilization and improvement, and even it in Ireland unfortunate circumstances .tend to retard it, a clerical resident is likely to do more towards promoting it than a lay proprietor ; and the facts bear us - out in showing that more has been done by the • episcopalorder than by any other in proportion. The distresses of Ireland have, at various periods, loudly , caged forth the sympathy and benevolence of the opu lent. We do not hesitate to say that on all such oc casions the episcopal proprietors have been always fore most in ti:eir exertions to stem the tide of calamity, and it is no more than the peculiar addition of tire spiritual to the temporal character with which they are invested, would naturally call for. The beneficial in fluence of the episcopal landholders, and of the dis tribution of episcopal wealth, has, in late times of distress, been abundantly manifested ; and we are sure that a noble refutation of all calumnies will be ex hibited in the same manner, under the present and (we too much fear) still greater impending cir. crunstances of distress. These, we confess, are but a few points cursorily touched upon ; but they, will suf. ACe, we think; to lead every reflecting reader to ac lciowledge that when the subject is divested of those f a ls e notions with which it has been artfully enveloped, the pretudices against the Irish hierarchy, , ,---against a large port:on of landed property being held by a pecu liar class of men on a peculiar tenure, are most ground less and absurd. But we before alluded to the case of the parochial clergy r----anti as they are paid in ty thes, it ma y be said to them these considerations do not apply. 7.--- WC do not know that we can at present fully enter upon the subject ;, but certainly we are very much disposed. to think it a true statement of the case, to say that a tythe-holder is virtually II landholder; and if this be the case we do not see why the same ,soncluaiona should not apply equally in this instance OS in the farmer. But waving this points and regard. ing the tythe in the light of a remuneration, no one who inquires into the cirenmstances, can be long in perceiving that , even in tile extreme case irrheti the a parish are. Papists, :be whole of the inhabitants of nelits of WO i n considerable importance arise from the residence of the Protestant incumbent. The Pro testant incumbent is, in a less degree 'of course in point of extent, but in a much greater in point of actual effective work, the promoter of educa tion and civilization , ,iii the same way as the by professional character; by Bishop, is more so education and acquire grients, than a lay 4 41 -Kopria d more , g o than a- Roman tor is or can be ; au • bent could Catholic locum , possibly be : for with Out any I Church of Rome, it is ev). illiberal prejudices against t • Aon when the people dent that her influence cannotbe r f a neeuliar cha are enlightened. That influence is o , t 0 existence, p ratter, and to its stability and even ' ver the innu s must be retained by the priestho— o tellectual the people, w hi c h i s incompatible with illumination. We do not mean to be undarA auie , and to accuse the Itomish priesthood of bigotheNitry a.n4 d that tai Jesuitism without cau se ; but we conten 103/1 fundamental principle of the -Bomish system eon /Aim in the acknowledgment of such a degr ee of a .udio pity iu the Church and, its Dilinistcni; vaIUM pv3- sibly consist with enlighted enquiry. A Romis h in cumbent, therefore, if he were s incere, m u st be, if not an enemy, certainly but a very distant friend, to po pular education.. The Protestant Church, on the contrary, is built upon the very principle of free enquiry, and it is therefore, and always has been eminently friendly to the diffusion of education ; 'and in proportion , as he sees the - superstitions of Popery prevail around - him, the Protestant Clergyman "mst feel himself impera tively Called upon to do all in his power (little as it may be)' to promote education and encourage the spread of intelligence ; and though in Ireland, under its present circumstances, we cannot but lament the numerous 9bstacles •which stand in the way of the mental improvement of its population ; it must surely be adMitted a point of no inconsiderable importance to have an order of men always ready and willing to do away those obstacles, and to seize every opportunity of promoting so grand an object. But, besides this one grand instance where so wide a field demands the attention of the Protestant Clergy, there are innumerable others to which we might advert, where the Protestant Incumbent, not only may be, but actually is looked up to by the Catholic population, as their patron, friend, and protector ; there are a vast variety of lesser offices which fall to the lot of the Protestant incumbent, not only in the way of moral, but even of legal obligation. We say this with much more confidence as to the importance of such services than the true mention of _ them in a general way might .seem •to warrant, since we .speak. from information acquired in conversing with several Irish Clergymen. It is difficult by any communica tion to convey an adequate idea of the value of these very miscellaneous items of service, which, though in dividually insignificant, involve upon the whole those extensive benefits, which superior station, influence, information, and connexion, can alone supply to the needy and helpless. • • We have extended our remarks to a greater length than we hail intended ; but in truth, the topics of our argument are far from being exhausted. To be brief, however, we would say, let the Irish Hierarchy be contemplated in ah enlarged, and enlightened point of view. Let its utility be measured, not by a confined standard of mere temporary expediency, or mere tan gible advantages, but with a reference to the whole cha racter and circumstances, wants and prospects, of the Irish nation ; not only to what they are, . but what we desire they should be. Let us not be too hasty in de ciding upon the efficiency of causes, because we do not instantaneously perceive their effects. A Church establishment is, under 'any circumstances, a powerful engine : it is, moreover, a very complex one, and its operations require to be studied. A Protestant establishment of an enlightened and liberal character is the grand diffusor of those advantages to the coun try at large ; the operation of this influence is often little seen or acknowledged, but it is nevertheless real, and attested by permanently beneficial results. The Protestant Clergy of Ireland are the - promoters of con ciliation and liberality, their intercourse • with their Catholic brethren has a powerful tendency to abate hostile feelings , as well as to extend the blessings of information and enlightened ideas ; and in a merely • tOnporal point of view, whatever e the advantage: and blessings which are so loudly called for, as emanating front the, residence of landholders, all these, and even greater benefits, are in the nieanwttile' sup , plied by the residence of the Protestant Clergy, withn 4e sphere of their influence.

Newcastle.upon-Tyne, Sept. 6. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) When will humanity cease to lament the sad casualties incidental to mining? Not many weeks have elapsed since the fatal explosion at Townley Main Colliery ; and now I have to report another distressing accident of the same kind, at High He worth Main Pit, a coal mine in the county of Dur ham, belonging to John Brandling, Esq. and partners. The accounts at first were extremely alarming, but I am happy to say only three lives have been lost, namely, two men and a boy, although eight or nine other persons have been more or less hurt. The ac cident took place yesterday morning between six and seven o'clock. Sixty or seventy individuals being down the pit when the explosion occurred, the alarm at first, among the relatives of the workmen, was dis tressing in the extreme. Fortunately, however, they were soon relieved from a state of the most agonizing suspense by the prompt exertions of the viewers, and others in authority at the colliery. How the accidept happened remains as yet a secret. Indeed it is a rare occurrence that any real light is thrown upon these subterranean explosions of hydrogen gas, the effects of which have been so dreadfully felt in this neigh bourhood of late years. Whatever may be thought of Sir Humphrey Davy 's safety lamp, it is indisputably true that there have been more accidents in the coal mines in this part of the country, since they came into use, e. for the same - number of yeafs) than occurred prior to the invention ! Is it really, one would ask, beyond the reach of science to furnish a preventative to explosive combustion in coal mines ? or are the shocking casualties that so frequently take place to be ascribed solely to the carelessness of the miners themselves ? However it may be, it is suffi ciently obvious that no exertions should be left un tried to mitigate an evil of so overwhelming a nature. LISBON PAPERS. (From the Lisbon Gazette of the 23d.) LISBON, AUGUST 22.—1 s it then true that the corps of pokce cavalry, • that corps of soldiers instituted for the defence and preservation of .property and the individual security of citizens, and for. these purposes alone maintained clothed, and paid—is it, then, the fact that this corps has just been detected in the criminal attempt of attacking that individual security which was placed under its care and vigilance? But what is there surprising in this ? Such an act of treason, new in its kind, was .only to be expected from a corps. which, with few exceptions, is com posed of the refuse of all the corps of the army, and which being besides steeped in all the. corruption of the capital, had become thereby the most corrupt body of the king dom. The truth of this observation is proved by noto rious facts, but almost of daily occurrence up to this last, which has crowned the whole; as in ancient fiction there was no other way of painting the Furies more hideously than to increase the horror by crowning them with serpents. That the slave should revolt against the hand which scourges him is a crime which, though justice condemns, public compassion is disposed to pardon. But here the case is different. Here the master says to the slave, " Thou art free, for I desire no longer to have slaves, but friends, and thou shalt he one of them. Enter.. then into society to enjoy all the rights it promises, and of which old abuses had deprived thee. The chains which degraded thee are broken, and thy name is now written in the book of the country. Then write mine also in the hook of gratitude, for I have, of my own free will, restored thee to Ball those rights which had been alienated or dis Owned. Reducing my rower to augment thy advantages, .1 esteem myself happy in promoting thy felicity. Go, learn to en joy it, and leave to thy children an inheritance which thou didst not receive from-thy fatlt." These few words serve to describe the signal benefits we have just obtained by the generous concession of the charter given by Don Pedro IV. What then was the an-• swer returned by the police cavalry, on the night of the 21st, to this Royal gift—according to the fact, as it was on the point of being realized ?• • For how is that fact to be interpreted, unless its explanation be found in these terms ?—". You depeive .yourself; for we not only disown yOur gifts, but we even disown yourself also I It is pre cisely ut the time that you limit your power, to create ours, and improve our situation, that we 'choose to curse your name, and to turn our backs on your benefits. Always ungrateful to the hand which sustains us, and delighting to live by rapine and atrocity, we are not satisfied with being merely ungrateful, but we will also be traitors— abhorring the oath which we have taken, the King whom we have acknowledged, the country which cherishes us, and the citizens who have confided to us the care of their dearest rights and interests. This nation, which has been so deceived as to us, shall be the victim of the deception; for we aim-at nothing less than to rob her of her King, and of her new institutions, the fruit of Royal wisdom— to bind her hands again with the shackles of despotism ; and thus to thank her for the bread with which she has fed us." But though the genius of evil thus inspired them, he h" ,rom them, in their delirium, the magnitUde of the atrocity, sad the littleness, the insufficiency of the means for perpe it : while, at the same time, the guardian angel of trating this nation, about to be regenerated in history, covered with his wings the descendants of the Pachecos and the Albu querques, and pointed out to our provident Government the means of overthrowing in a moment all those castles which had been formed in the air. They were, in fact, in stantaneously dispersed by the breath of Portuguese fide lity. The troops hastened with the greatest gallantry to encounter the danger, but nothing occurred but u triumph, too little worthy of such heroic courage. Thus ended this project, as insane in its means, as hor rible in its objects.; and thus will end all which may suc ceed, if any men should be found foolish enough not to be instructed by the past. Portuguese! Great praise is due to the vigilant Govern ment which protects us,—to the magnanimous Infanta who reigns over us,—and to the excellent spirit which has ani mated the troops. With these three eleMents of lasting securities, what have we to fear ?

The dregs of the nation,' (those mise ra bl e i nse cts who struggle for a moment in obscurity to exti ngu i s h t h e light of day), as the law his warned them, so the law will punish them. As regards ourselves, we leave justice to do its duty, we shall do ours, which, in a few words, is to obey the law. Within this all our obligations are confined, on this depends all our happiness.

LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 8, 1826. The Conspiracy in Portugal appears to have been as insignificant in its means as it was infamous in design. As far as we can gather 'from the Gazettes and Letters which have reached us, it was confined to the corps of Police Cavalry, which, with few exceptions, was com posed of tile refuse of all the Corps of the Army, and which is acknowledged to have been steeped in all the corruption of the capital. Such a corps was a fit engine for the machinations and intrigues of a party, which, though small in number, have much secret in fluence, and possessed the means of urging, on this band of Traitors towards the accomplishment of their own wicked purposes. They must have been, how ever, entirely ignorant of the state of public feeling, and of the disposition of the soldiery, to have attempted open acts of rebellion with a force so contemptible, and inadequate to its object. They relied evidently on support from the mob and the army, and the utter failure of their design must be attributed more to their hopes having been 'Wilt on grounds which proved en tirely vain, than on the measures which appear to have been taken by the Government on the occasion. The existence of the conspiracy it is true was known, and arrangements made to defeat it ; but it was in the fidelity of the army, and the, attachment of the great body of the people to the new order of Slings, that the safety of the Throne and the State was mainly to be attributed. We entertain no doubt that the wiles . of FERDI NAND, and the intrigues of the QUEEN of PORTU OAL, were at the bottom of this wretched conspiracy : but, animated as the nation appears to be with enthu siastic feelings in favour of the Constitutional form of Government, and put on its guard as the Ministers must have been by this rebellion, against the secret designs of a' Foreign power, or the more infalnous machinations of an internal faction, we feel confi dent, that neither the one nor the other will be able to shake the establishments which have been recently, but we hope firmly formed, on the principles of sound and rational Liberty ; and that under the guardian support of Great Britain, Portugal will emerge from her hitherto degraded state, and proudly defy the attempts of those bigotted nations who would rejoice in the downfall of her liberal institutions, whether those attempts are madeopenly by arms, or covertly by bribery and cor ruption. We give in another column some remarks of the Editor of the Lisbon Gazette, on the treason which has been so happily, and we would hope, corn pletely defeated.
